The Chief of Army Staff, Lt.
General Tukur Buratai, has warned officers and men of the Army that it is
non-negotiable for military professionalism to be loyal to the sitting
President and the Nigerian constitution.
Buratai stated this while
declaring open the fifth edition of a three-day procurement seminar for
commandants, bursars and administrative officers of command security schools,
held in Abuja with the theme ‘Enhancing the Capacity of Personnel for Efficient
Procurement and Financial Management in Command Secondary Schools’.
He urged officers to remain
nonpolitical, take right actions and show commitment to work.
“We need to remain absolutely
loyal to Mr. President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and the
Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. This is a non-negotiable part
of our profession.
“Commanders at all levels must
continue to provide requisite leadership and ensure that their personnel are
continually reminded of the need to be apolitical and continue to uphold the
tenets of military professionalism,” Buratai said.
COAS earlier, spoke on the
establishment of the schools with special interventions and renovation of
classrooms, provisions of ICT Centers as well as the vehicles to meet trainings
and operational requirements.
“We shall continue to look inward
in upgrading our schools and collaborate with the relevant stakeholders towards
their effective development. I will want to mention however that the
maintenance of facilities and equipment in our schools rest really on those
saddled with the responsibility to administer the schools at any given time” he
said.
“This important duty requires us
all to be alert at all times and to be prudent. It is a challenge to us all and
mark of responsibilities, and ensures accountability which requires a change in
attitude from all personnel.
The seminar was the fifth of the
series which has continued to provide the avenue to imbue participants with the
requisite knowledge in procurement procedures and ethics.
